AUTHORITY: The provisions of this Part 1270 issued under sec. 12, 20, 24 Stat. 383, 386; 49 U.S.C. 12, 20. SOURCE: The provisions of this Part 1270 appear at 32 F.R. 20500, Dec. 20, 1967, unless otherwise noted. § 1270.0 Application of the regulations. (a) The regulations in this part apply to all carriers of classes designated in the order whether passes are issued or are honored for transportation wholly within one State or otherwise, and whether the operated mileage or termini of any such carrier be located entirely within the limits of one State or otherwise. (b) These regulations shall apply, on and after the fifteenth day of February 1943, to all common carriers by water subject to part III of the Interstate Commerce Act. (Secs. 1, 22, 24 Stat. 379, as amended, 387, as amended, 54 Stat. 933, 935, as amended; 49 U.S.C. 1, 22, 904, 906) (2) Annual or term passes for meals and sleeping, parlor, and other accommodations, but not including passage. (3) Annual or term passes for passage, including meals and sleeping, parlor, and other accommodations. (4) Trip passes for passage only. (5) Trip passes for meals and sleeping, parlor, and other accommodations, but not including passage. (6) Trip passes for passage, including meals and sleeping, parlor, and other accommodations. 77) Commuter passes. Annual passes are those good until the end of the calendar year without restriction as to the number of trips. Term passes are those good for a designated period of time other than a calendar year and without restriction as to the number of trips. Trip passes are those good for a specified period of time and restricted to a single trip or to one round trip. Commuter passes are those good for a specified period of time and restricted as to the number of trips. This form of pass need not be confined to suburban territory, but may be issued over any portion of a carrier's line. Telegraph passes are those issued upon telegraphic or telephonic authority and restricted to a trip in one direction within a specified period of time. (b) Carriers are at liberty to enlarge this classification of pass forms, provided it is done by subdividing any of the general classes, and provided further, that the record of pass stock received and distributed shows the distinctive features of pass forms so subdivided. (See 1270.12.) It is not desired that carriers file with the Commission samples of their passes. (c) If the number of passes to be issued for meals and sleeping, parlor, and other accommodations, including passage, is relatively small, carriers are permitted to indorse a pass of any class prepared for passage only so as to include such accommodations as are to be furnished. (See § 1270.54.) Each carrier shall maintain in its files (a) a list of the names and titles of officers in whom is reposed the authority for issuance of free transportation and over whose signature passes will be issued, and (b) a list of the names and titles of officers having the authority to request free transportation of other carriers except that requests for passes may be honored when signed by retired employees of lines which have been abandoned subsequent to the date of their retirement and upon satisfactory evidence that they are on the pension roll of the Railroad Retirement Board. The names and titles of persons authorized to countersign passes and requests for passes need not be filed with the Commission. § 1270.5 Joint bureaus and associations. Requests for passes for or on account of officers or employees of traffic associations, fast freight lines, demurrage and car-service bureaus, weighing and inspection bureaus, and other joint agencies maintained by or on behalf of carriers subject to the regulations in this part, for transportation over the lines which are members of such associations may be made direct on such lines in the same manner as provided for requests for passes for or on account of a carrier's own officers or employees. (See § 1270.27.) Requests for passes over lines other than 731 member lines must be made in one of the three following methods: (a) Requests may be made over the signature of an officer of a member line if such officer's name is included in a list maintained by such member line in compliance with § 1270.3 (b), with the countersignature of an officer or employee of the association. (b) Requests may be made over the signature of an officer of the association if such officer's name is included in a list maintained in the files of one or more of the member lines in accordance with § 1270.3 (b), with appropriate evidence of authority to request passes on account of the association. (c) Requests may be made over the signatures of officers of the association if such officers' names are included in a list maintained in the files of the association, in accordance with § 1270.3(b), provided authority has been appropriately delegated to the officers by the member lines to request passes on account of the association. § 1270.6 Signature of issuing officers. Each pass (except a telegraph pass) must bear the signature of an issuing officer named in the list referred to in § 1270.3 (a). This signature may be an autograph or a facsimile printed on the pass, or it may be impressed by a mechanical device or by any other means. Since the carrier has the obligation to safeguard the authenticity of passes, the carrier may also determine if this can be done more expeditiously than by autograph signatures. If the carrier requires a countersignature by a subordinate designated on the pass, such countersignature may also be affixed by any method acceptable to the issuing carrier. § 1270.9 Serial numbering of passes. All passes (except telegraph passes issued on telegraph blanks) shall be consecutively numbered before or immediately upon receipt from the printer or stationer. No two passes of the same general class shall bear the same number without an indicative letter prefixed or affixed. Unless all passes are numbered in one series, each general class adopted shall constitute a series of numbers and each subdivision of any general class adopted shall constitute a series of numbers with an indicative letter prefixed or affixed. If a separate stock of passes is provided for each year the numbering must begin with 0 or 1 at the beginning of the year. If the same stock is used for 2 or more years the numbers may continue consecutively from year to year, commencing with 0 or 1 when desired, but not oftener than once in each calendar year. § 1270.11 Letter prefix to pass numbers. If adherence to the regulations in this part would result in passes carrying numbers consisting of more than five figures, a new series of numbers beginning with 0 or 1 with a letter prefixed may be adopted, provided the letter so prefixed does not occur on any other class of passes. § 1270.12 Record of pass stock received and distributed. A record of pass stock received and distributed must be kept by the officer ordering the pass stock. (See Form 9.) Each of the different forms and series of passes received must be entered on separate sheets or pages and must be recorded and distributed in numerical order. This record must show the form of pass, also the distinctive features of any pass prepared as a subdivision of any of the general classes as provided in § 1270.2(b). On the debit side of the record must be entered the entire pass stock received. On the credit side must be entered all pass stock distributed among other officers or countersigning subordinates, all stock assigned to the officer ordering the stock and issuable by him, and all pass stock destroyed. (For the periods of retention see regulations to govern the destruction of records Parts 1220-1225 of this chapter.) § 1270.13 Preparation of passes. All passes must be filled out with a durable ink, either with pen or typewriter, or by printing, except that in case of emergency a trip pass may be filled out and countersigned by the use of indelible pencil. § 1270.14 Identity and qualification of user. Each pass issued must bear upon its face the name of the person to be accorded free transportation, who must be of a class named in section 1 of the Interstate Commerce Act, as amended, as eligible to receive free transportation. § 1270.15 Inclusion of unnamed per sons. A pass may include, in addition to the person named thereon, a specified number of unnamed persons of any class eligible to receive free transportation, the number and the class to which such persons belong being specified upon the pass; e. g., Pass: John Smith, car, and five officers and employees. Account: President, ployees X. Y. & Z. Ry. officers, and em Pass: John Smith and six employees. Account: Section foreman and laborers X. Y. & Z. Ry. Pass: One extra messenger when presented with letter signed by superintendent of Eastern Express Co. authorizing use and giving name of person to be passed. Account: Messenger, Eastern Express Co. A car pass may be issued only for cars owned by the issuing carrier or held by it under lease for use in its business as a common carrier, and for cars owned by another carrier used for the benefit of the issuing carrier in a bona fide test of transportation equipment (including the return of such cars after the completion of the test). It may not be issued for other cars. This provision is not to be construed as prohibiting the issuance of passes for cars of lines operated as a part of the same system. See In the Matter of the Use of Private Passenger Train Cars, 155 I. C. C. 775. A pass for "John Smith and three children" is not a sufficient compliance with the provisions of this paragraph; it must be made so that the representation that they are the children of the person named shall affirmatively appear; e. g., Pass: John Smith, one son, and two daughters. Account: Brakeman, X. Y. & Z. Ry. |
